Along the wall of Frank Kitts Park there are plaques to various things. I have walked past them so many times that I thought I'd stop and read them...and bring them to you.
Text: "The United States Marine Corps arrived at this Quay in May 1942 and left from here to serve in the Pacific theatre of war." Note that "theatre" is in the English spelling.
Of course while the Marines were here they participated in the infamous Battle of Manners Street
Also note this version wes remade in 2000 to replace the original 1953 version...
